Apartheid Protest

August 18, 1985

YELLOWKNIFE, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES — South African wines and spirits are off the shelves in Northwest Territories liquor stores. The territorial government Friday banned the sale of South African products at the eight liquor stores and also banned further imports from the racially segregated country. Richard Nerysoo, head of the government, said the territory ''can truly sympathize'' with South Africans in their ''struggle to attain fair and democratic government for all.'' Sidelight: Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba provinces also have banned the sale of South African products to protest apartheid.
